PEOPLE HAW. LOST HUMS
BY INEFFICIENCY, SAYS DOBBS
Atlanta, August S. —State Senator
ii. P. Dobbs of Cobb county, in pur
uance of promises made in the an
'ouncement of his candidacy for the
tfice of comptx-oller general of Geor
:a, has just given out the first of
. veral statements in which he
barges William A. Wright, incumbent
n rhat office, with the responsibility
or huge losses of Georgians who in
vested their money in income, or guar- 1
.tiiiee fund certificates issued by mu
tual insurance companies operating
upon the legal reserve basis.
In the announcement of his candi
dacy for this office, Senator Dobbs re
fers to complaints against the depart
ment In numerous letters from citi
zen* of Georgia urging him to run,
and says:
"The admitted record of unfor
tunate results following the ad
ministration of this department
for the past ten yesurs will, in my
opinion, amply illustrate an abso
lute public necessity for a new
comptroller general and insurance
commissioner, and the installation
of energetic and progressive meth
ods for these combined depart
ments.’’
Referring to his own success in the
manufacturing business in Marietta,
and in other enterprises and soliciting
the support of friends and the citizens
of Georgia generally, particularly those
whose recent contact with this de
partment convinces them that my an
nouncement is opportune,” he con
dudes:
“I will, at an early date, furnish
lhe public with the official records
of results above referred to, and
which will astonish the uninform
ed by disclosing the amazing num
ber of preventable losses suffered
by the people of Georgia on ac
count of iax administration —a rec
ord in which Georgia leads the
tdficklist of all the states in the
union.”
The People Misled
It is in pursuance of this announce
ment promise that Senator Dobbs now
proposes to give specific instances. He
charges Mr. Wright with an effort to
fool the people regarding income or
guarantee fund certificates, in that he
makes it appear in his report to the
governor, dated January 1, 1916, that
MUTUAL insurance companies were
authorized to issue these certificates.
Dealing with the insurance act of 1912,
on page 8, Mr. Wright states in part
as follows:
"No provision of this statute has
been of more immediate benefit
to the public than the section
which I drafted dealing with what
is known as ‘lncome’ or interest
bearing certificates, issued by mu
tual anti co-operative or assess
ment industrial companies. The
State of Georgia in 1909 legalized
these certificates.”
Mr. Dobbs states that the act of
1909 makes no mention of mutual life j
insurance companies, but confines it
self to “any mutual aid, benefit or in
dustrial insurance company incorpo
rated under the laws of this state
upon the co-operative or mutual as
sessment plan;” and that the section
of the 1912 act, whose authorship Is
claimed by Mr. Wright, has no further
effect than to repeal the law of 1909;
that nowhere in the laws of Georgia
is there or has there ever been any
statute authorizing the issuance of
these certificates by Mutual Legal Re
serve insurance institutions.
Millions Were Lost
It is charged that on£ Georgia com
pany has issued more than $1,500,000
of these certificates, some prior to
1909 and many during the latter part
of 1912, with the knowledge and con
sent of Mr. Wright; that two other
Georgia companies have issued more
than $850,000 of these certificates,
making the amazing total of more than
$2,000,000 issued without any author
ity of law, PRACTICALLY EVERY
DOLLAR OF WHICH IS A DEAD
LOSS TO THE INVESTOR.
General Wright admits in his report
that “the sale of these certificates
caused a financial loss to many citi
ze.ns,” and attempts to relieve himself
of responsibility by stating Dial “the
Insurance department had absolutely
no jurisdiction.”
Senator Dobbs points out that char
ters granted to these companies make
them subject not only to the laws of
the state, but also to “any rules or
regulations of the insurance commis
sioner ...” and that these insti
tutions could easily have been pre
vented from taking the hard earned
dollars of citizens In practically every
nook and corner of Georgia, without
the return of any value, had Mr.
Wright, as insurance commissioner,
regulated them by proper rules and
compelled them to comply with the
laws.
“One of the most unpardonable and
neglectful of the acts that go to make
up Mr. Wright's official record,” Sen
ator Dobbs states, “was his failure to
require the Empire Life Insurance
Company to make the SIOO,OOO deposit
as the law requires, for the protection
of its policy holders, before issuing t<-
this company a license when it be
doing business during 1912.”
COVE LES KS E
FAMOUS PLAYS
AND PLAYERS
By RANDOLPH ROSE
WE'LL always havo
our hearts, down South £
here, for Covelcskie, a S
fine, modest ball player /■ j[^|
and a mighty good *-3L /
pitcher. Covey is, k J I
strictly speaking, a
come-back, and he came
back with a vengeance.
Taat is, he went up to .
~ , » Ka.\uoi.i'll Host!
the majors twice, the
first time failing and the second time
making a great success.
Covelcskie first came into notice in
1908 by pitching the Giants out of a ]>en
nant. lie was with the Philadelphia
Nationals and took 'three games close
together from the Giants. If the New
York team had won tie - ■ games they
would have landed the pennant, it
seems that Covelcskie was their jinks.
And it looks as if he still lias it, for
eight years later, at the spring training
camp at Jfirlin, Texas, just before the
open r.g of the regular season this year,
Covcleskic, j itchiiig five innings for De
troit,, allowed only t.nree hits and ok
I'.’.n, and Detroit wan 9 to 2.
Despite ills thrm \i> tries over the
Giants in 1908, < Yr,i ieskie didn't make
food and came down to ti e Southern
League. His last year in the South he
was with Chattanooga and pit Hied won
derful ball, lie was the idol of the tans.
TLis is bis third season with Detroit
and if his opening game was any sam
ple, it will be his best year. He out
shone Cobb, and it takes some ball play
er to do that.
In the very first game of the season
he pitched a marvelous game, allowing
the Chicago White Sox only three hits,
which was one less than Covey mail«
with his own bat, for be it known the
eminent Mr. Covelej.kic hit out one tri
ple. one double ami two singles in hia
trips to the plate, enabling the Tigers to
win a shut-out with a score of 4 to 9.
They tel! a story about Covcleskic that
T always doubted, but nevertheless it ha?
gone tlie rounds. When he went up to
the Phillies in 1908 he was a very greea
baseball player and didn't know how
well tike club took care of the players in
the matter of meals, transportation, etc.
He appeared at the grounds, it is told,
with a little package in his pocket.
Some of the players got to speculating
and they found Covey had gone to thu
ball grounds with a couple of cheese
sandwiches safely enseonsed in his jeans.
He said he didnt’ know whether the club
fed the players and he wasn't going t/>
take any chances.
